'15 step' starts off with a drum riff that lays the platform. the vocals. an upbeat 6-string progression announces its arrival. "et cetera, et cetera" and then they really start playing around with the song, glitches, voice distortions, drum loops.
the guitars in 'bodysnatchers' wouldn't sound out of place in battles' 'atlas'.
'jigsaw falling into place' certainly seems to involve a lot of movement. "the beat goes round and round."
other than those the rest of this album sees radiohead at its most mellow. featuring string sections. beautiful? well we'll see. i'll bring it around with me for the next few days and we'll see all right. it's certainly very exciting.
nude brings 'bulletproof... i wish i was' to mind.
but there is no one like thom yorke. 'videotape' rounds things off with
When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape
My videotape
When mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
And I have it all here in red blue green
In red blue green
You are my centre when I spin away
Out of control
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you before
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen
